"By combining the K5 Cloud Service which supports multi-cloud environments and partner’s cloud services, such as Office 365 and Box, we have created a communications platform that enables workstyle transformation."

Customer

Fujitsu is the leading Japanese information and communication technology (ICT) company offering a full range of technology products, solutions and services. Approximately 156,000 Fujitsu people support customers in more than 100 countries. Along with the provision of services, Fujitsu’s comprehensive business encompasses the development, manufacture, sales and maintenance of cutting-edge, high-quality products and electronic devices that make these services possible.

Challenge

Solution

Using FUJITSU Cloud Service K5 and FUJITSU Digital Business Platform MetaArc framework, Fujitsu now runs its communications platform in a global cloud environment, transforming the platform into a unified entity providing rich functionality in collaboration with partner cloud services such as Microsoft Office 365.
